A question about Writers

[Bardic]

While I am retired and have a more than comfortable income from other means, I still make a decent amount of money as a writer.
Does writng for profit count as needing a work permit when I finally get moved to HH?

Whilst I'm not really up to speed with wp's, I don't think you'll have much of a problem. It may depend on what sort of writing and who pays you. IE, if you're a journalist, you'll probably need a wp. If you write books and are paid by a forign publisher and pay goes into a forign account that you draw on here, I doubt you'd need one. Who's to know anyway?
There will probably be others better able to advise you.

As far as I'm aware if you get paid from overseas into an account overseas then you dont need a work permit.

If you plan to work in Thailand as a journalist or foriegn correspondent you need a non-immigrant M visa, Thai press card and work permit ..... a motherload of paperwork!

Thanks!
I am primarily a novelist so I guess the work permit won't be needed.
That's a relief.
